Pineapple Apricot Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Score the surface, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Pour pineapple juice over ham. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/4 hours., Uncover; brush ham with preserves. Arrange pineapple slices and cherries on ham, securing with wooden toothpicks. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140° and then ham is heated through. Discard toothpicks.

Steps:

• 1. Grate the zest of the 2 limes (& the 1 orange if you desire). Set aside.
• 2. Squeeze the juice from the 2 limes (and about 1/2 of the orange if you are using one) into a sauce pan.
• 3. Add the 8 slices of ginger into the sauce pan. (Make sure the slices are thin)
• 4. Pour 2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice into the saucepan as well.

• 6. Strain.
• 7. Add Lime(and Orange)Zest.
• 8. Add 1 cup Apricot Preserves.
• 9. Add 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard.
• 10. Feel free to use this glaze however you like. We poured half over the ham after it had been cooking about 2 hours (almost a 9lb ham) and basted it every 10 minutes for the next 50 minutes. It takes some work but it is totally worth it! It was so juicy and almost falling off the bone when it was done! Enjoy! :)
